Title: System and method for information handling system custom application ordering and installation
Filed: 2006-05-26
Abstract: Replacement of legacy information handling systems at a deployment site is automatically managed in cooperation with an information handling system manufacture site by coordinating the building of replacement information handling systems with appropriate configurations. An asset discovery tool interfaces with the legacy information handling systems through a deployment site network to discover the configurations of the legacy systems and communicates the legacy configurations to the manufacture site.

Patent GB-0724002-D0 (GB)
Title: Noise tolerant voltage controlled oscillator
Filed: 2006-05-24
Abstract: A phase detector apparatus and method used for clock recovery from a data signal is provided. The phase detector provides phase correction signals to a clock signal generator, where the phase correction signals are only generated if a predetermined data sample pattern is observed. In particular, the predetermined data sample pattern is preferably a transition from one to zero. Thus, transitions from zero to one will not provide a valid phase update output signal, even though a transition has occurred. In other embodiments the predetermined data sample pattern is preferably a one to zero transition preceded by an additional logic one sample.

Title: Methods and apparatus for the secure handling of data in a microcontroller
IPC: G06F21/75
Filed: 2006-07-25
Abstract: Apparatus and methods are presented for protecting data in microcontrollers from both malicious software processes running inside the device as well as from unauthorized attempts to read the data from an external data bus and/or external memory. An illustrative embodiment of the invention accomplishes these security improvements, in part, by utilizing an enhanced memory management unit (MMU). The enhanced MMU is configured to prevent one software process running on the microcontroller from accessing data associated with a different software process running on the same microcontroller. Moreover, data transmitted over an external data bus or stored in an external memory is encrypted, thereby reducing the chances that unauthorized users will gain exploitable information from this data.

Date May 18, 1989.In the manufacture of a pneumatic tire the approximately triangular space immediately radially inward of each bead of the tire is filled by an apex construction made by helically winding uncured rubber strip. The tapered configuration is achieved by winding from a position progressively closer to a support surface so that the windings become progressively more oblique. Width reduction of the rubber strip can be achieved by subjecting it to progresively greater tension during winding. The winding of the apex formation may be interrupted while an end of a carcass play is turned over the bead and incomplete apex. Turns of unsheathed wire may be wound over the carcass ply end and then winding of the uncured rubber strip continued until the apex formation is completed. In one modification (FIG. 5) the carcass ply is incorporated in a wound bead assembly. In another (FIG. 3) windings of a harder material such as Kevlar are interposed between windings of uncured rubber.

Title: Screening apparatus
IPC: B07B1/10
Filed: 1994-02-24
Abstract: Sewage flows along a channel (2) in the direction from right to left and through an endless screening belt (4) located with its lower region in the sewage stream. The belt (4) consists of pivotally connected perforated screening elements (12) each consisting of a shorter part (14) and a longer part (16) connected at an acute angle to one another. The belt (4) travels anti-clockwise causing solid particles larger than the perforations to be carried upwardly on the shorter parts (14). When each screening element (12) reaches the upper region of the belt (4) the solids drop into a screw conveyor (30) which conveys them to a desired location. A rotary brush (24) and a liquid spray assist the removal of solids from the belt. Any solids which fall clear of the screw conveyor (30) fall back into the channel (2) upstream of the inlet region of the belt (4). This arrangement reduces the risk of solid sewage entering and polluting the cleansed liquid sewage effluent downstream of the conveyor belt (4). <IMAGE>
